Nostalgia returns to 8 Wing/CFB Trenton with Tartan Tie Galaby LCol D. Miller

8 Wing Administration Officer Well it was bound to happensooner or later… being a part ofthe sooner was much more funthan possibly being part of thelater.

I am most definitely talkingabout last Saturday’s Tartan TieGala held at the National AirForce Museum of Canada.

Chairman of the Board ofDirectors, Bob Burke, andExecutive Director Chris Coltonwere on hand to show off therecently completed concrete floorin the main gallery.

In honour of the conversionof the gravel to concrete floorunder the Halifax, it was decidedby the Foundation that we shouldcelebrate the end of this phase ofthe construction program. Andcelebrate we did.

The some 180 people in atten-dance dressed in 1940s formalwear, tartan tie and tux, and messdress, sipped the libations of theevening, ate marvellous food(catered by Occasions By The Bay– a Leah Howe find), nibbled on

decadent deserts, chatted to oldacquaintances and new foundfriends, before dancing under thewings of the Halifax to the strainsof the 8 Wing Concert Bandunder the direction of Warrant

Officer Coglin. But not before the evening was

over was there a new additionalpresented to the Museum – astained glass rendition of the‘roundel’ through the ages. A gift

from the hands of Mrs. MaggieSecretan, presented to both theExecutive Director and theChairman.

Among the guests, one count-ed two Distinguished Flying

Cross (DFC) winners, half adozen over ninety years of age,several still wearable 1940s AirForce uniforms, a few servingmembers, a former Calgary com-mander, a former commander ortwo from Air Transport Group, apolice chief from the UlsterConstabulary, local communityleaders and entrepreneurs.

So as the clock was striking11, and guests were saying theirlast goodbyes, taking one last goodlook around the museum, organiz-ers were secure in the knowledgethat we’d achieved our goal – rais-ing awareness that the museumwas now one of the larger venuesin the area to hold a really largefunction/fundraising/party/event.

Many thanks must be given tothose who participated in theplanning and executing of theevent, from the FoundationBoard, to Leah Howe, to the AirCadets who acted as hosts, to the8 Wing Concert Band, toOccasions By The Bay, and to allwho attended, making the eveninga true celebration of anotherMuseum milestone.

The dedication and passion wewitnessed at National SAREX willstay with us for a long time.

Last week, from September 22to 28, 2008, 424 (Transport andRescue) Squadron participated inthe Canadian Forces (CF)National Search and RescueExercise (SAREX) in ThunderBay, Ontario, which was hosted by435 (Transport and Rescue)Squadron.

The goal of National SAREXis to facilitate liaisons betweenSearch and Rescue (SAR) unitsand to provide a venue for thestandardization and evaluation ofoperational SAR techniques andprocedures.

Approximately 300 personnelparticipated, using six different air-craft types. During the week-longevent, Thunder Bay airport park-ing apron was taken over by mili-tary and Coast Guard aircraft,including Canadian and USAFCC-130 Hercules, CH-146Griffon, CH-149 Cormorant, CC-115 Buffalo, and a HH-65ADolphin helicopter from the USCoast Guard.

Organizations participating inthis year’s SAREX included:

-Five Primary SAR Squadrons(422, 435, 424, 413, 103);

-Three CSS Squadrons (417,439, 444);

-The Canadian Coast GuardHMCS Griffon (Naval Reserve)

-US Coast Guard;-CASARA;-Civil Air Patrol(CAP);-Three JRCC Units (Victoria,

Trenton, Halifax);-304 PJ Squadron (US SAR

Tech equivalent);-Defence Science and

Technology (DSTA) and their USpartners.

In the spirit of camaraderie, the424 Sqn SAR Technicians wentabove and beyond the competition,helping their brothers from othersquadrons with checks of theirchutes and explaining variousexperiences they endured withjumps.

There was joy on all their faces,from the youngest, to the bellringers (45 years old and older),upon stepping off the ramp of theCC-130 Hercules.

This competition also providedan excellent venue for showcasingthe skills and abilities of Canadianand US SAR units to the publicthrough multiple events, such asPara accuracy event, Search event,Rescue event, Helicopter accuracyevent, Marine fixed wing event,Marine helicopter event, Medicalevent and Maintenance event.

This year, one CC-130Hercules crew, one CH-146Griffon crew, some OperationCentre members as well as judgesfor the different events represented424 Sqn.

Out of the many awards pre-

sented to the participating unitsand members at the closing ban-quet, 424 Sqn captured the follow-ing awards:

Cormorant Trophy (best actualCF rescue in 2007);

Medical Event Trophy (bestresult during SAR Technicianmedical scenarios);

Fixed Wing SRK AccuracyEvent Trophy (best accuracy air-drop of a Sea Rescue Kit to a boat);and Helicopter Accuracy EventTrophy (best results during multi-ple challenging helicopter accuracyevents, including helicopter hoistand precision landing).

The Tiger Griffon crew playeda superb role in the success of thisnational event with over 50 sortiesflown. This year’s best overall win-ner award (Diamond Trophy) wasattributed to 435 Squadron fromWinnipeg, which ended 424Squadron’s two-years in-a-rowsequence.

On September 26, Rescue 422 was tasked to investigate an ELT in thePeterborough area. The signal was tracked to an aircraft which was safelyparked at the Peterborough airport. The ELT was switched off and Rescue422 returned to base.

On September 28, Rescue 422 was again tasked to search near Main DuckIsland for a possible MAYDAY call. Once on scene, the search revealed noboats in distress and Rescue 422 returned back to Trenton.

No, it’s not an antique angel shop butrather an eclectic collection of vintageaircraft all lovingly restored, flown,and displayed.

Who are Vintage Wings ofCanada?

At Vintage Wings of Canada theirmission to acquire, restore, maintainand fly classic aircraft significant tothe early history of powered flight. Aparticular focus is on aircraft ofCanadian importance.

Each airplane in their collection isrestored and maintained to the high-est standards. The aircraft are authen-tically detailed and operated withinthe most stringent safety guidelines.

It is their goal to inspire and edu-cate future generations about the his-torical significance of our aviationheritage and to demonstrate thatthese aircraft are more than justmetal, fabric, and wood artifacts.

They seek to keep the souls ofthese aircraft alive through the thun-dering sound of engines, the smell ofleather, glycol, oil and sweat, as wellas the laughter of their pilots as theydance with them in their natural ele-ment in the skies over Canada.

On Saturday, September 20, 2008,I had the opportunity to attend theLast Open Hangar Day of 2008, atthe invitation of Colonel Coyle,Honorary Colonel of CanadianForces School of AerospaceTechnology and Engineering(CFSATE) in Borden.

This final Open Hangar Day ofthe year served as an unofficial offi-cial kickoff for the CanadianaCentennial of Flight Project and theintroduction to the many eventsplanned across Canada to mark the100th Anniversary of Canadian pow-ered flight during 2009.

One of these such events was theunveiling of ‘Hawk One’. VintageWings’ project to restore and fly aCanadair Sabre in the colours of theRoyal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF)aerobatic team of 1959 – The GoldenHawks – at air shows and displaysacross the country in 2009.

The afternoon was all abuzz, fromthe Lancaster that flew not one buttwo passes overhead, to the Spitfiresand Hurricanes that were practicingfor the next day’s Battle of Britaincommemorations at the NationalAviation Museum.

Aircraft enthusiasts from all overflocked to the Gatineau Airport forthe event. The kickoff event was therollout of ‘Hawk One’ in its interimpaint scheme and the introductin tothe five pilots who will fly it in 2009:Chris Hadfield, Steve Will, DanDempsey, Paul Kissmann, and TimLeslie.

During the afternoon’s press con-ference, Chris Hadfield addressed acrowd of aviation enthusiasts of allages by unveiling Hawk One, aCentennial of Flight project involv-ing the resurrection of a fully restoredCanadian F-86 Sabre 5 that will flyacross the country in 2009 to cele-brate the 100th Anniversary ofPowered Flight in Canada.

Chris Hadfield was joined by

members of the Hawk One team andCanadian Aviation Hall of Famemember, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret’d)Fern Villeneuve, the original leader ofthe RCAF Golden Hawks aerobaticteam.

Mr. Geoffrey Languedoc,Chairman of the Centennial of FlightBoard of Directors, announced year-long celebrations by unveiling theCanadian Centennial of Flight logothat will be displayed nation-wide toinform Canadians of the distin-guished civil and military aviationhistory that Canada can be proud ofand will pay tribute to starting inFebruary 2009.

It was on a cold day in Baddeck,Nova Scotia on February 23, 1909,that the first flight of the Silver Darttook place, flown by J.A.D. McCurdy,a young engineering graduate fromthe University of Toronto and found-ing member of the Aerial ExperimentAssociation.

Legendary pioneers in Canadianaviation history associated with thathistoric event nearly 100 years agoincluded Dr. Alexander Graham Bell,a visionary and prolific inventor whohelped propel aviation technologyinto the 20th century.

The Canadian Centennial ofFlight Project is envisioned as a wayto provide support to Canadians whowant to make the 100th anniversaryof the first flight in Canada an oppor-tunity to celebrate not only the his-toric event of 1909, but also to show-case our myriad achievements incivilian and military aviation in thedecades since then, both at home andabroad.

Over the past 100 years, Canadahas achieved an enviable record ofaccomplishment in all facets of avia-tion – from design and manufactur-ing to transportation, military opera-tions, flight safety and the explo-ration of space in partnership withher allies.

Chris Hadfield, an accomplishedpilot and Canadian astronaut whoembodies many facets of theCanadian Centennial of Flight, willjoin four other highly experiencedformer Canadian Forces’ pilots to flythe F-86 Sabre at select air showsthroughout 2009.

The F-86 was the RCAF’s princi-pal fighter aircraft during the firstdecade of the Cold War. Canadianfighter pilots flew the Sabre with 12RCAF squadrons based in Europewith No. 1 Air Division as well as atseveral RCAF stations withinCanada.

Hawk One derives its title fromthe Golden Hawks, Canada’s leg-endary aerobatic demonstration teamwhich was officially formed at RCAFStation Chatham, New Brunswick onMarch 1, 1959 to celebrate the 50thAnniversary of Powered Flight.

It was great to be part of theunveiling and announcement, as wellas to see and hear stories from thosewho came before us.

It was also a privilege to be able tonegotiate the attendance of ‘HawkOne’ at the 8 Wing/CFB TrentonAnniversary Weekend scheduled forJuly 4 and 5, 2009. Get your camerasready.

Vintage Wings of Canada A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS

On Friday, September 26, 2008, the roof to the new Air Traffic Control Towerwas hoisted into place. The entire cab roof and support structure, the steel“space truss system,“ was lifted and attached to the tower structure by a 600ton crane. Local companies Mirtren Contractors Ltd. and TrentFab Inc. cameup with the concept and completed the installation of the project, whichwas largely pre-fabricated in the shop and transported to the site for finalassembly on the ground.

Over the past several monthswe’ve heard a great deal aboutthe Health and Physical FitnessStrategy.

The Air Force Chain ofCommand was very quick toembrace this strategy and haveexemplified their commitmentto creating a culture in whicheveryone in the military com-munity is physically active, eat-ing healthy, maintaining ahealthy weight and living addic-tion free.

In support of the strategy,Colonel Mike Hood, Comm-ander, 8 Wing/CFB Trenton,and other Wing leaders have ini-tiated progressive changes at 8Wing/CFB Trenton.

We’ve seen the Gym opentheir doors 24 hours a day, sevendays a week, in an effort to pro-vide an environment supportiveof physical fitness regardless ofwhich shift you are working.

The Galley launched a newmenu – a menu that includes and

highlights healthy choices atevery meal.

Even more recently we’veseen the implementation of twonew positions to support thelines of operation identifiedwithin the strategy.

Fitness and Sports hasacquired a Physical ExerciseSpecialist (PES) whose focuswill be on fitness developmentand return to work programs.

Working alongside the 24Canadian Forces Health ServicesGroup (24 H Svcs GP) and 8Wing Health Promotion, thisarray of professionals will greatlyenhance the ability of the servingmember to accomplish the rolesand tasks assigned by the chainof command.

In Health Promotion, wehave a new Health PromotionManager (HPM). The managerwill work with the Director todeliver programming in the areasof Addiction Free Living,Nutritional Wellness, Social

2008 FirePrevention

Week

To maintain food safety inour homes we must practiceproper sanitation and prop-er food handling. If we neg-lect safe practices we mayhave an outbreak of foodpoisoning.

If we eat food whichcontains harmful micro-organisms, chemicals ortoxins (poisons), that foodcan make us sick. Todescribe our illness we canuse the terms food-borneillness, food-borne disease,or food poisoning.

Food poisoning iscaused by four agents: bac-

teria, viruses, parasites andchemicals.

It is estimated that oneper cent of all known bacte-ria are harmful to humans.These bacteria are calledpathogens.

Some pathogens cancause diseases such as strep(short for streptococcus)throat and pneumonia,while others can grow infoods and cause poisoning.

The most commonbacteria that cause foodpoisoning are as follows:

Salmonella: Salmonell-osis or salmonella food poi-soning;

Campylobacter: Camp-ylobacteriosis or campy-lobacter food poisoning;

Staphylococcus: “Sta-ph” food poisoning;

Clostridium Perfring-ens: Perfingens food poi-soning; and Clostridium:Botulism

These bacteria cancause illness and even deathwhen allowed to grow infoods. Bacterial food poi-

soning is most commonlyrelated to foods that comefrom animals: poultry, eggs,red meat, seafood, dairyproducts, etc.

Various types of virusescause food poisoning. Themost common type foundin food is hepatitis A. Thisvirus is usually transmittedby an infected food handlerto raw or improperlycooked food. It can also befound in water that hasbeen contaminated withraw sewage and in shellfishthat has been harvestedfrom contaminated waters.Symptoms of the diseaseappear in people who haveconsumed infected food orwater.

Foods that have beenrelated to viral food poison-ings include water, milk,sliced luncheon meats, sal-ads, sandwiches and under-cooked clams or oysters.

Parasitic food poisoningis a type of food-borne dis-ease is caused by parasites.The most common known

parasite is a small, micro-scopic worm calledTrichinella spiralis thatcauses the disease trichi-nosis. This parasite is foundin pigs, bears, and otherwild animals. It’s mostoften transmitted to peoplewho consume undercookedpork. Although trichinosisoccurs less frequently thanin the past, all pork shouldbe cooked thoroughlybefore eating.

There are two types ofchemical poisoning. One iscaused by chemical prod-ucts and the other by met-als. When chemical prod-ucts such as detergents, pes-ticides, and sanitizers findtheir way into food they cancause poisonings.

Metals cause poisoningswhen foods are stored inimproper containers madeof materials like tin, lead,copper and zinc. Thesemetals can dissolve in acidfoods such as fruit juicesand produce fast acting poi-son in the body when

ingested. Symptoms of food poi-

soning can range from mildheadache to severe flu-likesymptoms.

The most commonsigns and symptoms arenausea, stomach cramps,diarrhea, fever, chills, andvomiting. A person withfood poisoning may haveany combination of thesesymptoms depending onthe cause or the agentinvolved.

The illness may beginfrom one to 72 hours aftereating the food. If you orany of your family suspectfood poisoning, you shouldseek medical aid and reportthe poisoning to your localhealth unit.

Here are some impor-tant ways to help preventfood poisoning in yourhome:

Store foods below 4 C(40 F) or above 60 C (140F). Remember, keep hotfoods hot, and cold foodscold.

Always wash yourhands before you eat, han-dle, or prepare foods, andespecially after you use thetoilet or handle cleansers orgarbage.

Avoid cross-contami-nation of foods by keepingraw foods away fromcooked or processed foods.

Don’t allow foods toremain at room tempera-ture for long periods oftime (no more than twohours).

Cool foods quickly. Thiswill help prevent bacterialgrowth. Cook and reheatfoods thoroughly to 74 C(165 F) to help destroyharmful bacteria in thefood.

Clean and sanitize allfood equipment, utensils,and food contact surfaces.

Keep the home free ofinsects and buy only foodfrom approved and inspect-ed sources, and return allswollen, damaged orspoiled cans.

Practice good personal

On September 23, 2008,426 (Transport) TrainingSquadron HonoraryColonel Arthur Sherwinaccompanied crew onFlight 85/86 to Thule,Greenland, and Alert,NWT.

HCol Sherwin, a dec-orated Spitfire pilot fromthe Second World Warand participant in the“Great Escape” fromStalag Luft III, had flownon numerous aircraft dur-ing his career in the RAFyet this was his firstopportunity to experiencea mission on the legendaryCC-130 Hercules.

Despite the “earlyhour” departure time from8 Wing/CFB Trentonand the eight hour flight,HCol Sherwin enter-tained the crew with fondmemories of flying adven-tures from around theworld in aircraft we couldonly dream of flying.

His description of fly-ing the final productionmark Spitfire had theentire crew drawn back toa time when there was nodual training and the firstflight in an aircraft wasusually a solo. His aviationexperience was evidentthrough the informed dis-cussions he had with thecrew and he certainly putour flying in perspective ashe talked about navigatingacross “The Channel”

with a compass, an atti-tude, and one barelyusable radio.

The weather up northcooperated and the clearskies and mild tempera-tures allowed for somepicturesque views of bothThule and Alert.

A visit to the facilitiesin Alert, including thefamous “Alert sign-post,”was just one of the high-lights enjoyed by HColSherwin.

After three days, HColSherwin returned toTrenton with a little moreinsight into the dailyoperations of 426Squadron and 8Wing/CFB Trenton.

Overall, the missionwas a wonderful experi-

ence for the entire crewand it was certainly a priv-ilege to fly with a promi-nent aviator who is areflection of an illustriousand honoured time in thehistory of our Air Force.

Note: Honorary ColonelArthur Sherwin completedhis flight training in Canadaand served with RAFSquadrons in North Africa,Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

He was flying on patrolin his Spitfire on his 20thbirthday when he was shotdown and taken prisoner in1943. HCol Sherwin wasinvested as HonoraryColonel of 426 (Transport)Training Squadron at 8Wing/CFB Trenton inApril 2008.

News

The Trenton Military Family RecourseCentre (MFRC), often receives requestsfor more adult social events that helpoffset the stresses of the military lifestyle.

One of the MFRC’s goals for 2009 isto respond to this need by developing largeand small interactive events offered toboth the military families and thecommunity at large.

One such activity is the offering ofballroom dancing classes this fall whichhas quickly filled up in anticipation of theupcoming masked ball. These events arenot fundraising initiatives and fees arebased on cost recovery only.

The goal is to plan events that are funand affordable to all military ranks andcommunity members.

Booked for the last day of January “Le

Bal des Masques” is our first social event of2009. The intent of the evening is to assistin (at least for a few hours) alleviating thestress of the everyday challenges and tobring brightness to the mid-winter seasonblues.

We want the evening to reflect themagnificence and grandeur of formal ballsof the past.

The venue, the 8 Wing/CFB TrentonOfficer’s Mess, is an ideal location as it is adesignated Heritage Building. It iscurrently undergoing some renovations,bringing it back to its original splendour.

We are planning a sit-down dinnerwith a quartet or small orchestra providingdinner music. After dinner, there will bedancing in the ballroom to the sounds of alive band.

We are fortunate to have HildenHomes to renew a partnership by helpingwith the cost of the live music; the QuinteQuartet during the meal, and the FrankieHoward Orchestra to keep us dancing allnight. This way, this nice evening isaffordable for military and communitymembers.

Our idea for the “Le Bal des Masques”is to allow people to relive some of the pastmagnificence of masked balls of the late1800’s.

We are encouraging guests to come informal period costume but they arewelcome to wear the approved formalwear of today.

For the ladies, a formal evening dressor gown and for the gentlemen a dark suit(tuxedo is optional). Masks will be

mandatory for everyone!! The guests at aMasked Ball are supposed to beunidentifiable. This creates an evening ofmystery and fun as guests try to guess eachother’s identities.

Excitement continues to abound at theMFRC as plans are being made to hostthis fabulous masked ball.

There are a limited number of ticketsand we believe this event will be a success;we received very good comments aboutthis idea. The sale of tickets will start onOctober 15, 2008 at the MFRC andRiverside Music (both Quinte West andBelleville locations).

We want the military community tohave precedence, so until October 14 atthe MFRC, military members and theirfamilies will be able to buy their tickets.

Members of the Canadian Forces needto be ready to deploy at the drop of ahat, and Annual Personnel ReadinessVerification (APRV) helps to makesure that everyone is ready to go.

Major Chantal Fraser, A1 PersonnelAdministration Officer, says personnelrecords need to be checked to deter-mine what Departure Assistance Group(DAG) forces members fall into.

“Fitness, dental, medical, immuniza-tions, MSE Safety, passports, and per-sonal records like wills…these are allimportant things to make people readyto deploy when their time comes,” saidMaj Fraser.

Petty Officer, 1st Class RoseannAmyotte added that the procedure haschanged significantly from two yearsago.

“Two years ago they had lines ofchairs for waiting; this whole room wasfilled with people. The procedure hasactually changed; we’re just looking for

deficiencies. If you’re DAG Green, wedon’t really need to see you. We need tosee you if you’re yellow or red so we canfix it.”

This year 30 personnel go throughthe APRV process every 30 minutes.Maj Fraser is expecting 1,000 personnelto go through this process at the Southside Gym before the week is out, withan additional 800 personnel doing theprocess at 8 AMS.

Personnel were expected to pre-reg-ister, and print out their APRV sheets;otherwise they’d have to rescheduletheir appointment.

Maj Fraser says it’s a unit responsi-bility to keep track of the statistics ofwho is ready, and who isn’t ready todeploy.

This internationally recognized celebra-tion first took place on October 20 2005.

Those involved in the process ofresolving conflict in Canada, Portugal and22 US States determined it was importantto officially recognize the benefits of con-flict resolution.

The following spring, the Associationfor Conflict Resolution designated thethird Thursday in October as the officialInternational Conflict Resolution Day.

The aim of this designation was toincrease public awareness about conflictresolution and its many benefits. October16, 2008, will be the fourth celebration ofInternational Conflict Resolution Day.

The Department of National Defence(DND) and Canadian Forces are fortu-nate to possess what is likely the ‘Cadillac’version of alternative dispute resolutionprograms.

Formed in 2002, this program hasevolved into an organization now calledthe Director General Dispute Resolution,and is extremely well regarded by othergovernment departments as well as theprivate sector.

Within this directorate, a network ofDispute Resolution Centres (DRCs) was

established at bases across the country.There are currently 15 DRCs in

Canada; with plans to establish additionalcentres in order to better serve the needs ofthe CF.

DRCs first focused on interventions;assisting with the resolution of existingconflict through consultation, coaching,facilitation, mediation and group process-es.

As the program evolved, alternativedispute resolution training was added tothe roster. The desired goal is an organiza-tion where conflict is managed well andwhere the workplace environment is capa-ble of optimizing operational effective-ness.

By providing Alternative DisputeResolution (ADR) training to as many ofour personnel as possible, we hope to affecta culture shift within DND/CF. ADR hasbeen designated an essential leadershipcompetency within the department.

Come celebrate Conflict ResolutionDay with DRC Trenton. A kiosk will beset up in the foyer of the Yukon Galley onThursday, October 16, between 1130 and1300hrs. Look forward to seeing youthere.

Conflict Resolution Day: October


Chaplain Services

Planning to get married?If you are planning to get married in the Roman Catholic Church, on Base or off Base, the Catholic Party must contact first the Wing Chaplains’ Offices at 613-392-2811, Ext 2490 to beginthe pre-nuptial process six months prior to the wedding day. That is to provide you with time to take the pre-marriage class (which must be attended) and the padre to complete the marriagefile, which must be sent to the Military Ordinariate’s Chancery Office no less then three months prior to the wedding day). Please, keep in mind that pre-marriage classes are not offered fromMay to September. This is applicable to all members falling under Military Ordinariate’s jurisdiction; that means for all CF personnel and DND employees who are RC. The later have thechoice between their Wing Chaplains’ Pastoral Services and their civilian parish’s. If a Catholic party wants to get married under the Rite of a particular Protestant denomination, the above stillapplies.

If the marriage file is not processed on time, the Wing Chaplain’s office will not be held accountable. Three months is the minimum time to process a canonical marriage file (to Ottawaand from. . . to the church of your wedding). If you belong to a Protestant denomination and you would like to get married at the Wing Chapel, you are asked to contact the chaplain of yourdenomination at the earliest convenient time.

Vous planifiez de vous marier?Si vous projetez de vous marier selon le Rite de l’Église catholique romaine, aussi bien sur la Base qu’à l’extérieur, la partie catholique doit en tout premier lieu communiquer avec les bureauxdes aumôniers de l’Escadre au #613.392.2811, poste 2490. Ce premier contact, qui enclenchera l’ouverture du dossier prénuptial, devrait être fait six mois avant la date de la célébration dumariage. C’est le temps minimum pour planifier la session de préparation au mariage (à laquelle les fiancés doivent participer et qui ne sont pas dispensées entre les mois de mai et septembre.)et de préparer le dossier de demande de mariage. Le dossier doit être envoyé au bureau du Chancelier de l’Ordinariat militaire du Canada, à Ottawa, au moins trois mois avant la date choisie.Ce qui précède s’applique à toute personne assujettie à la juridiction canonique de l’Évêque du Diocèse militaire du Canada; en d’autres mots, à tous les membres des FC et aux employés duMDN qui sont CR. Cependant, ces derniers ont le choix de faire appel aux services des aumôniers CR de l’Escadre ou de s’adresser au bureau du pasteur de leur paroisse civile. A noter que sila partie catholique veut se marier selon le Rite d’une Église protestante, ce qui précède s’applique encore.

Il importe également de prendre note que si le dossier prénuptial n’a pas été complété et envoyé dans les délais requis, le bureau de l’Aumônier de l’Escadre ne pourra être tenu responsablede toute complication et des coûts qui pourraient y être reliés. Trois mois précédant la date: voilà le temps souhaitable que les bureaux de l’aumônier et du chancelier ont besoin pour prépareret acheminer un dossier de demande de mariage.

Si vous appartenez à une Église de confession protestante et que vous souhaitez avoir votre célébration de mariage à la chapelle de l’Escadre, nous vous demandons de communiquer avecle padré de votre confession religieuse le plus tôt possible.

An easy way to save on energy costs(NC) – During both heating and air conditioningperiods, air leaks cost you more than you may think.

In fact, you could save as much as 30 per cent offyour energy bill by making your home's envelopemore airtight through the use of weatherstripping.

In addition to reducing your energy consump-tion, the installation of weatherstripping increasesthe comfort of your home, provides better protectionto the building's framework, reduces outside noiseand dust as well as greenhouse gas emissions, whichare directly related to the phenomenon of climatechange.

Where are the air leaks?

Air can leak from a number of places throughout thehouse. As a rule, sources of air leaks are:

• Doors: frame, sides, bottom and threshold • Windows and patio doors • Garage • Air conditioner and air vents • Electrical outlets and switches • Hatches and ceiling lights • Joints between baseboards and floors • Unsealed wall openings and cracks.

Your hardware store or renovation centre carriesweatherstripping adapted to each of these sources.

You would do well to install weatherstrippingbefore winter, since its installation will be easier andmore efficient before the cold hits.

How to detect air leaks?

To detect air leaks in your home, you could hire acontractor or opt for a simple, yet effective method:do the job yourself using the flicker test.

This test consists in slowly moving a smoke penwhere air leaks are most likely to be, that is, arounddoors and windows as well as along the edge of walls,

floors and ceilings. The smoke will stir when an airleak is present.

An indispensable tool, the Comfort Plus SmokePen makes it possible to detect air leaks quickly andefficiently.

"Unlike a candle or incense stick, the smoke pennot only avoids possible wax or ash messes, but ismuch safer," said François Gagné of RCRInternational inc., a recognized pioneer in the insu-lation of doors and windows. "It releases a steadystream of smoke for approximately 30 minutes,allowing you to conduct 60 thirty-second smoketests. It contains no hazardous or corrosive sub-stances."

The smoke pen is an efficient tool for detectingair leaks as well as for testing smoke detectors, ven-tilation systems, fireplaces and chimneys.

You will be surprised by how many places need tobe sealed.

Often, tiny, seemingly innocuous openings cancause significant increases in energy costs.

Also, check the quality and flexibility of weather-stripping around door and window frames.

Replace it when it shows signs of wear using anappropriate product. To check the airtightness ofyour garage door, turn on the light at night or use aflashlight, then close the door and inspect it from theoutside. If you spot light around the door, you've gotair leaks.

For a healthy environment

These small measures will make it possible for you toreduce your energy consumption and, by the sametoken, your costs while ensuring the comfort of yourhome.

And remember, it's the sum total of all our indi-vidual actions, as modest as they might be, that yieldsimpressive results on a collective scale.

Did You Know: Liquid soap rescues wildlife(NC) – Every year, at least half amillion water birds die fromencounters with spilled oil.

Approximately 300,000 birdsdie from oiling every year off thecoast of Newfoundland.

Nearly 85 percent of oil pollu-tion comes from sources such assmall boats, jet skis, and othereveryday contaminants.

For over 25 years, Dawn dish-washing liquid has been savingmarine wildlife.

Dawn has been used todegrease wildlife in the 1989Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska; LakeWabamum, Alberta in 2005.

Dawn has aided emergency res-cue teams by donating free prod-ucts and funds during major oil

spills in Canada, the United States,and in Europe.

The three-year mandate ofCanadian Oiled Wildlife RescueAcademy (COWRA), a partner-ship between Dawn and Tri-StateBird Rescue and Research(TSBRR), is to educate and pre-pare wildlife rescue teams in theevent of oil spills.
